Question

Match List I with List II.

List I	List II
A. Vitamin D deficiency B. Vitamin A deficiency C. Vitamin B deficiency D. Vitamin B2 deficiency	I. Conjunctival xerosis II. Beriberi III. Angular stomatitis IV. Rickets

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
• B. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
• C. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
• D. A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

Hint:

Mnemonic: A → Eyes, D → Bones, B$_1$ → Beriberi, B$_2$ → Mouth lesions

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Vitamin deficiencies produce characteristic clinical manifestations that help in diagnosis.

Step 1: Vitamin D deficiency.

• Leads to rickets in children Thus: \[ A \rightarrow IV \]

Step 2: Vitamin A deficiency.

• Causes xerophthalmia including conjunctival xerosis Thus: \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Vitamin B deficiency (B$_1$).

• Leads to beriberi Thus: \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Vitamin B$_2$ deficiency.

• Causes angular stomatitis (cheilosis) Thus: \[ D \rightarrow III \]

Step 5: Final mapping.
\[ A\!-\!IV,\; B\!-\!I,\; C\!-\!II,\; D\!-\!III \] \[ \boxed{\text{Correct answer = Option (1)}} \]
